Amino and MeeGo - optimised for entertainment

Access Apps, services and personal media all while watching TV

The Amino Freedom range is based on MeeGo TV – a complete, open standards-based Linux stack that is optimized for entertainment. Developed in part by Intel - and especially designed for an Internet-connected TV experience - MeeGo allows users to enjoy access to multiple applications, services, and personal media, all while watching TV.

Amino has worked closely with its partners to bring a new generation of MeeGo devices to market – benefiting from the platform’s fast time-to-market and reduced development cost. With performance optimizations and features to enable rich computational and graphics-oriented applications, plus an easy to use and powerful user interface and apps development environment, MeeGo based products provide a clear roadmap that is aligned to operator and service provider needs.

About MeeGo

MeeGo is a platform that sits entirely in the Linux and free software tradition. The platform is a standard Linux based stack made of cutting edge upstream projects that are developed independently and benefit also other distributions. It's the setup that has brought the Linux kernel and the operating systems based on it on a path of growth and success.
